I hate that.

A few months after I bought my house, I realized all the cabinetry and the island in my kitchen are solid oak. They painted it all white and grey.

Natural oak with a clear finish is super boomer from the 80's

I agree!!
I was looking for a blue venue, but no one had them in the whole state, and one sales guy says to me "I can get you green, do you like the green?"
Innocent me says "I didn't know there was a green"
He turned the computer and showed me that fuckery and I just stared at him - because who the fuck does that.

Not all grey is made the same.  Plenty of shades of grey that are timeless rather than trendy.  Furthermore, it also depends greatly with how you handle trim and floors.

I think this look with the trim and floors all in consideration is generally pretty timeless:

I think it gets a bit out of control when people carry it to the cabinets and floors at the same time to the point that the entire house is monotone or when they don't get the shade of grey right (too dark or too cold).

This is very close to my interior.

Except I don't have quarter-round at the base of my trim, fuck that.

When we redid the floors we redid the trim.

About to start casing windows. There will not be a lack of carpentry in this house

So...be the change you seek...
Paint everything your favorite color...

Like lime green and chrome? Paint the house lime green, and do the trim in chrome and have a matching tool box, truck, bike, etc.
Go ham.

So strip it off and stain it honey oak like Richard Simmons intended!

Nothing says 80s middle class like honey oak cabinets.

Exactly. The Gulag will be made of grey stone that you will spend all day chipping from the quarry you walk five miles to before sun up.  

Crematorium is right next door for the unvaccinated.

I bought five BMWs, four of them were Space Gray. Awesome color.




Funny, 'cause my favorite color is metallic forest/jade green, but it's really hard for automotive manufacturers to get it right. My old Tacoma hit it almost perfectly. Every green I'm seeing now is some bastardized decorator hue.

I'm kinda "meh" on the gray.  I think home fashion trends are silly.  They are, after all, what got us the avocado and harvest gold of the seventies.  The silly people now are discarding all their burnt bronze to buy the gray.  I will laugh a haughty laugh when brass comes back in style as I will already be there.
